The Artisan
La Valote Fornoni
Distilled in Môtiers by Lucien Fornoni, whose practice was forged in the time of clandestine distillation, this absinthe is produced according to an artisanal tradition respectful of the original spirit of the “Green Fairy.” Crafted in a copper alembic made by a renowned Val-de-Travers artisan, and using botanicals grown in the valley, this creation is deeply rooted in the terroir that gave rise to the drink.

Heritage
Distilled in Môtiers by Lucien Fornoni, whose practice was forged in the time of clandestine distillation, this absinthe is produced according to an artisanal tradition respectful of the original spirit of the “Green Fairy.” All botanicals used are grown in the Val-de-Travers, grounding this creation in the terroir that gave rise to the drink.
Character
A characteristic herbal profile in which anise leads and intertwines with a rich vegetal array, supported by delicate, well-integrated bitterness. The palate opens with confident clarity, then evolves fluidly toward a dry and balanced finish that invites attentive appreciation of its botanical complexity.
Ritual
Slowly diluted with iced water to allow the louche to form naturally. Best served without sugar to preserve the balance and vegetal character. Intended for focused, unhurried tasting. Suitable for experienced drinkers and classic absinthe service.
Gourmet Pairings
Pairs elegantly with roasted almonds, salted nuts, and refined savory nibbles. The contrast between subtle salinity and herbal complexity enhances aromatic freshness while balancing the palate, making it an ideal companion for aperitif moments.
Interpretation
La Valote Fornoni stands as a vivid expression of Val-de-Travers artisanal absinthe — structured and authentic, inspired by gestures from clandestine times and shaped by attentive craft and ritual.
